EUCHARISTIC HYMNS • Teach hymns with solid eucharistic texts as part of formation activities. • Encourage parish liturgists and musicians to include songs with solid eucharistic texts in the celebration of the Mass. • Introduce with proper catechesis the best Latin hymns from the Catholic tradition with instruction on how and why to pray the Latin texts. SELECTING THE HYMNS FOR YOUR PARISH LESSONS • A particular Eucharistic hymn is suggested for each month, September 2019 through May 2020. • There are six additional hymn lessons included in this resource. • Parishes may use the suggested hymn for the month or another hymn from the additional list. • Make sure that the catechists and musicians know which hymn your parish will study each month. REFLECTION ON SCRIPTURALLY-BASED HYMNS: It’s a double reinforcement: singing the song helps implant the scriptural text in our hearts and minds and bodies in a way that reading or hearing can’t. At the same time, reading or hearing the text calls up the song in our minds again and again. Composer M. D. Ridge, Musical Musings, St. Louis University Sunday Web Site October 29, 2016 3 Page General Hymn Lesson Format, Confirmed Youth and Adults EVENT: Teaching of a Eucharist Hymn AGE: Post Confirmation to Adult GOAL: The hymn becomes a prayer in which all truly encounter Christ in the Mass. REVIEW: • Previous learned songs • Year of Eucharist teachings • How participants are encountering the Lord through song PREPARATION: • Know the hymn • Have the materials and resources at hand • Invite parish musicians or other confident singers to assist VOCABULARY: Provided in each lesson MATERIALS/ • Lesson Plan RESOURCES: • Means of Playing Hymn o piano, guitar o computer/screen/TV/internet access • Hymnal • Musicians & Singers APPLICATION: Sing the hymn at liturgy during the month of the teaching. Work with parish musicians to include this hymn in their planning. LESSON • Opening Prayer FORMAT: • Review hymn from prior month • Introduce hymn for current month (background, themes, scripture) • Sing hymn together • Reflection questions • Optional small group discussion • Sing hymn together as closing prayer Note about hymn tunes: Many hymns are composed to fit a well-known melody according to a metrical pattern. Hymn tunes are classified by the number of syllables in each line, or meter. Generally, any set of lyrics may be sung to any hymn tune with the same number of syllables per line. They are identified by those numbers. For example, the hymn tune Hyferdol (87 87 Double) is used for many songs, such as Alleluia! Sing to Jesus and Love Divine, All Loves Excelling. However, since the hymn tune Beach Spring has the same meter, the lyrics for songs with that tune (Healing River of the Spirit, Lord Whose Love in Humble Service) may also be sung to Hyferdol, and vice versa. Many hymnals have a metrical index that tells which tunes are found on which page. So if you don’t know the tune of a song, 4 count the syllables and look up a hymn tune that you know in the index – switch to that tune and you’re all set! Page General Hymn Lesson Format, Age of Reason, Pre-Confirmation EVENT: Teaching of a Eucharist Hymn AGE: Age of Reason, post-First Communion, pre-Confirmation (Elementary grades 2-5) GOAL: Fuller participation in the celebration of the Eucharist through hymns. REVIEW: • Previous learned songs, words, meanings, pronunciations from prior class PREPARATION: • Know the hymn • Have the materials and resources at hand • Invite parish musicians or other confident singers to assist VOCABULARY: Provided in each lesson, where appropriate MATERIALS/ • Lesson Plan RESOURCES: • Means of Playing Hymn o piano, guitar o computer/screen/TV/internet access • Hymnal • Musician, singer APPLICATION: LESSON • Opening Prayer FORMAT: • Review hymn from prior month • Listen to the hymn for this month • Discuss through questions and responses what the hymn is about and why we would sing it at Mass • Tell the Bible stories referred to in the hymn • If the hymn is new, teach the refrain first, then the verses. • Sing hymn together • Have an activity that relates to the hymn – a page to color, drawing time, a moment of adoration, just a quiet moment in the chapel, a procession with an image of Christ that relates to the Eucharist • Optional snack time • Sing hymn together as closing prayer 5 Page Sample Lesson for First Communion to Pre-Confirmation As We Gather at Your Table BACKGROUND INFORMATION “As We Gather at Your Table” was written by Carl P. Daw, an Episcopal priest in 1989 for a church celebration. PRIMARY THEME The song tells us to bring everyone you meet to God. God loves everyone. Receiving the Eucharist strengthens us to teach other people about God. SECONDARY THEME We should forgive others as God forgives us. SING THE HYMN TOGETHER OR PLAY A RECORDING DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Verse 1: Read “The Parable of the Banquet” Luke 14:1-24 or tell it in your own words. • How does this parable tell us that God wants everyone to feel welcome in His Church? • In the first verse, what parts of the Mass are referenced? • How does this verse make you think about Holy Communion? Verse 2: Pray the “Our Father” together. • What words in the song refer to this prayer? • How are we being asked to forgive other people? Verse 3: • What are we asking of the Holy Spirit in verse three? • What do you think the words “envy” and “pride” mean in the song? • What does it mean to invite everyone to the feast? • How in your life can you “...repeat the sounding joy”? ACTIVITY Invite the students to draw a picture of “The Parable of the Banquet,” of ways to make people feel welcome at Church, or of someone showing forgiveness. Share a snack making a point of welcoming everyone to the table and sharing out the snack. SING THE SONG TOGETHER OR PLAY A RECORDING AS A CLOSING PRAYER Lesson Notes: This is a very large age group. Adapt the questions and activities to your group. Some of the discussion questions are not appropriate for young elementary students. Younger students might benefit more from hearing simplified version of “The Parable of the Banquet” and talking about forgiveness based on the words of the “Our Father.” Or, instead of discussion questions, have students draw a picture about the parable and share with the class about what they drew. In a class with younger students, you may only want to talk about the 1st verse. 6 Page General Hymn Lesson Formation, Pre-Age of Reason EVENT Teaching of a Eucharist Hymn AGE Three through Pre-First Communion GOAL To be able to participate in Mass by singing the hymn and understanding more about the Eucharist REVIEW • Something specific about Mass that they’ve learned in previous classes • Previous learned songs • How God is present • Why we sing hymns PREPARATION • Know the hymn • Prepare dialogue • Have the materials and resources at hand • Invite parish musicians or other confident singers to assist • (Suggested) Plan an activity to engage them more fully – draw pictures, act out Bible stories, play a game that lets them

    CATHOLIC CONVERSATIONS ON THE SCRIPTURES Archdiocese of Miami - Ministry of Christian Formation August 5, 2012 Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle B) Gospel reading John 6:24-35 [To be read aloud] When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. And when they found him across the sea they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them and said, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal." So they said to him, "What can we do to accomplish the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent." So they said to him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do? Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.? So Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." So they said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always." Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst." Brief commentary: Although the Fourth Gospel does not include a narrative account of the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper, as do the Synoptics and 1 Corinthians, it does offer the most extended reflection on the meaning of the Eucharist in the whole of the New Testament.

  • Text: John 6:51-58 Theme: Digest the Bread of Life We Have Been Making
    Text: John 6:51-58 Theme: Digest the Bread of Life We have been making our way through Jesus’ “Bread of Life Discourse” here in John chapter 6 the last couple of weeks. In the event that you have found some of it difficult to understand or difficult to follow, it might make you feel a little better to know that you aren’t alone. While some of your difficulty can certainly be attributed to my limitations as a preacher, even those who heard these verses first hand from Jesus own lips had difficulty, including even Jesus’ disciples who were found grumbling afterwards, “This is a hard teaching, who can accept it?” Still, it is not our goal, nor is it Jesus’ goal for us, to simply walk away from our look at these verses scratching our heads in frustration. Instead it is our goal to strive for understanding of what Jesus says here, to take these words to heart that they may truly feed our souls. It is our goal to Digest the Bread of Life, that He may live in us, and that we may live through Him. It is clear from our text that there were many in the crowd who did not understand what Jesus was saying. They ask the question, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” They may as well have simply said, “I don’t get it!” So it is important for our understanding that we answer this question. In order to understand what Jesus is saying, we must take His words in context.

  • Commentary on Jesus' Bread of Life Discourse
    COMMENTARY ON JESUS = BREAD OF LIFE DISCOURSE (John 6:25-71) Revised Standard Version The time is about one year before Jesus = death and resurrection. There are three Passover periods mentioned in Holy Scripture; all of which appear in the Gospel of John: 1. Jn 2:13-23 The cleansing of the temple immediately after the marriage feast at Cana. 2. Jn 6:4 The feeding of the 5,000 which, along with Jesus = walking on water, immediately precede this bread of life discourse. 3. Jn 11:55 Jesus = passion and death. The Gospels of Matthew and Mark also include miraculous healings, the casting out of demons, and the feeding of the 4,000 prior to this event. 25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, Jn 6:24 tells us the crowd went to Capernaum, a city on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee. The place known to be Jesus = center of activity in Galilee. Mt 4:13 notes that He established a residence there. He began His public ministry there by teaching in the synagogue (Mk 1:21 & Lk 4:31). Since Jesus had fled to the mountain alone (Jn 6:15) and the crowd knew that He had not departed with the Apostles (Jn 6:16), they looked for Him where they knew He maintained a home base. they said to him, ARabbi, In the New Testament, this term is used as a form of address rather than a title (such as The Rabbi). The term means Amaster@ and was the way a student of the scribes would address his teacher.

  • Bread of Life Discourse #1 Gospel of John 6: 1-15
    18th Sunday: Bread of Life Discourse #1 Gospel of John 6: 1-15 Many years ago, I offered a children’s homily and began by asking this question, “Your English teacher has given you an assignment to write an essay. You are asked to write three typed written pages, double spaced, with correct spelling with everyone using the same font and the same font size. You follow all the instructions to the exact detail, but you don’t write a good essay. Do you expect to get a good grade?” One young girl responded to the question: “No, because we didn’t use our imagination.” Jesus asks Philip a question to test him. Philip has the correct math and the proper facts and figures. But Philip doesn’t use his imagination either. Philip is overwhelmed with the immensity of the task. Philip might also be somewhat fearful that feeding the crowd might mean not having enough for himself. A young boy offers all he has to Andrew; and Andrew informs Jesus of it, but Andrew doesn’t use his imagination either. The young boy takes all he has, little in Andrew’s eyes, and courageously places it all in Jesus’ hands. Only the young boy has enough imagination to trust Jesus with his offering. As often in gospels, it is one considered “unimportant” that becomes the protagonist for change and God’s mighty works. This time it is a child, a young boy. Children had no rights and were simply overlooked in times of crisis. Protecting them was important, but recognizing them as a source of wisdom or faith was considered ridiculous.

  • Adoro Te Devote
    Adoro Te Devote Eucharistic Adoration in the Spirit of St Thomas Aquinas St Saviour’s Church, Dominick St (D1) Some of the best loved Eucharistic hymns - Adoro Te Devote, Tantum Ergo, Panis Angelicus - were written by one man, the Dominican Friar St. Thomas Aquinas. The Dominican Friars of St. Saviour's Priory, which has been in existence for nearly 800 years, will mark the 50th International Eucharistic Congress by inviting renowned preachers to explain the rich delights of these Eucharistic hymns, all in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, exposed for our veneration. The preachers include Wojciech Giertych OP, the Pope's personal theologian; Paul Murray OP, a celebrated spiritual writer; John Harris OP, well-known for his ministry to young people; and Terence Crotty OP, a Scripture scholar. The evening events will also include music and silent adoration, and will conclude with the Office of Compline, sung by the Dominican community, and the ancient tradition of the Salve Regina procession. Finally, on Saturday, St Saviour's will host a day-long festival of Eucharistic adoration. Come and join us, as we contemplate the source and summit of our faith, 'in which Christ is received, the memory of His Passion is renewed, the soul is filled with grace, and the pledge of future glory is given to us' (St Thomas Aquinas).

  • Of 2 Bread of Life
    Bread of Life - 18th Sunday in OT Last Sunday, we began a 5 week focus on St. John's Gospel, Chapter 6 - the Bread of Life Discourse. "I am the Bread of Life," says Jesus, "whoever comes to me will never hunger." During these five Sundays we explore the dimensions of Jesus - the Bread of Life. The Central reason why you and I are Catholics is namely the Eucharist. And the Church in her wisdom placed The Bread of Life Discourse in the center of Ordinary Time. It is a reminder of who we are and what we believe. Jesus declares: “Amen, amen, I say to you,... Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you... “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent. Jesus is asking us to change ours hearts and minds in order to see God in a new light. Instead of asking for bread for our stomachs as the ancient Israelites did when Moses led them out of Egypt. We should ask for the Bread of Life, the Bread Jesus give us, His Body and Blood. He came seeking not only our obedience but desiring to be up close and personal with us, seeking to live within you and me. The infinite God, who lives far above us, comes to us now inside our humanity, in our time, on our earth. This is Amazing! A priest once asked a first communion class how does Jesus get into the Host? He was thinking he would not get an answer.

  • Shepherd-King July 25, 2021 17Th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B) (Jn 6:1-15) the Miracle of the Multiplication of Loaves and Fish Is the Zenith of Jesus’ Public Ministry
    Rev. Glen Mullan Shepherd-King July 25, 2021 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B) (Jn 6:1-15) The miracle of the Multiplication of Loaves and Fish is the zenith of Jesus’ public ministry. It is the only miracle recorded in all four Gospels. It is also unique in that it is a miracle on a grand scale, national in magnitude. This is an extremely large crowd, and it represents the gathered twelve tribes of Israel. In this miracle, Jesus is presented as the Shepherd-King of Israel, the Prophet, and the Messiah. Jesus imitates David, who as king of the newly consolidated kingdom of Israel “distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, to each a loaf of bread…” (2 Sm 6:19). Jesus repeats the miracle of Elisha, who multiplied the barley loaves in order that the people may eat, with some left over (2K 4:43-44). Elisha was successor to Elijah, and outperformed him in miracles. As Elisha is to Elijah, so Jesus is to John the Baptist. Jesus performs this miracle at the moment he received news of the death of the Baptist (Mk 6:14-16). In this miracle Jesus becomes the Good Shepherd prophesied by Psalm 23: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; in verdant pastures he gives me repose.” Upon disembarking the boat and seeing the crowds, Mark comments how Jesus had compassion on them, for they were like “sheep without a shepherd” (Mk 6:34). Both Mark (Mk 6:39) and John (Jn 6:10) note the large area of green grass where the people are organized and fed with this miraculous food.

  • The Word Became Flesh: an Exploratory Essay on Jesus's
    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette Dissertations (2009 -) Dissertations, Theses, and Professional Projects The orW d Became Flesh: An Exploratory Essay on Jesus’s Particularity and Nonhuman Animals Andy Alexis-Baker Marquette University Recommended Citation Alexis-Baker, Andy, "The orW d Became Flesh: An Exploratory Essay on Jesus’s Particularity and Nonhuman Animals" (2015). Dissertations (2009 -). Paper 596. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/596 THE WORD BECAME FLESH: AN EXPLORATORY ESSAY ON JESUS’S PARTICULARITY AND NONHUMAN ANIMALS by Andy Alexis-Baker A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2015 ABSTRACT THE WORD BECAME FLESH: AN EXPLORATORY ESSAY ON JESUS’S PARTICULARITY AND NONHUMAN ANIMALS Andy Alexis-Baker Marquette University, 2015 In this exploratory work I argue that Jesus’s particularity as a Jewish, male human is essential for developing Christian theology about nonhuman animals. The Gospel of John says that the Word became “flesh” not that the Word became “human.” By using flesh, John’s Gospel connects the Incarnation to the Jewish notion of all animals. The Gospel almost always uses flesh in a wider sense than meaning human. The Bread of Life discourse makes this explicit when Jesus compares his flesh to “meat,” offending his hearers because they see themselves as above other animals. Other animals are killable and consumable; humans are not. The notion that the Word became flesh has gained prominence in ecotheology, particularly in theologians identifying with deep Incarnation. Unless this notion is connected to Jesus’s particularity, however, there is danger in sacrificing the individual for the whole.

Psalm 104 Glory to God from Mass of St. Mary Magdalene by Sarah Hart The Liturgy of the Word First Reading: A reading from the Book of Joshua (24:1-2a, 15-17, 18b (122B)) Joshua gathered together all the tribes of Israel at Shechem, summoning their elders, their leaders, their judges, and their officers. When they stood in ranks before God, Joshua addressed all the people: “If it does not please you to serve the Lord, decide today whom you will serve, the gods your fathers served beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose country you are now dwelling. As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” But the people answered, “Far be it from us to forsake the Lord for the service of other gods.
